I am trying to define a function "elem" which will create me a list of 
length n which has 1 at the i^th position. 

def elem (i,n):
  A = []
  for k in range [n-1]:
      if k != i:
          A.append([0])
      if k == i:
          A.append([1])

  return A

elem (1,5)

Why does the above not work?
